Ministry warns of employment scam in CambodiaBy Lu Yi-hsuan and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday urged people who are planning to work in Cambodia to exercise caution after Taiwanese were reportedly coerced into engaging in fraudulent activity in the country. They had been lured to take up work in Cambodia by criminal groups that promised them high salaries and favorable treatment, Ou said. However, when they arrived, their freedom of movement was restricted, Ou said, adding that those who resisted had been beaten. “If you are going to Cambodia for work, we urge you to be vigilant. Look into the company that is hiring you and make sure you understand the details of the work you will be asked to do,” she said.
